Description
Bartees’ story is a fairy tale of independent community and a triumph of efforts to diversify what the word ‘indie rock’ even means, reclaiming it for black artists. ‘Magic Boy’ is 33 minutes of recordings created before he entered the public eye, with 8 out of 10 never previously released. It finds his ever malleable sound touching on genres like coffee house folk (‘IDK’ – ‘Best of You’ – ‘You’re Here’), emo troubadour (‘Count It Back’ – ‘Little Brother’), and wigged-out experimentation (‘Eat Your Heart Out’). Appended with two tracks previously available only as digital b-sides from SAY GOODBYE (‘HAGS’ – ‘Going Going’) it reads as a kind of ‘lost’ album for someone shaping up to be a major voice in indie music.
